Betty, Samba is to allow a Linux box to access a M$ box.
You don not want to go that way.
A simple (geeky) way would be sshfs, but if that is over your head, there
are other GUI options.
What Linux are you running in those boxes?
I suggest you remove (and purge) Samba, because that's just another
vulnerability point.

i have two linux computers called 'stormy' and 'stormy too'. i want to be
in one of my offices in the house and access files or send files to
another office in my house. ie, send from 'stormy' to 'stormy too' .
they are both on a wired connection to my cox service.
i have installed 'samba'. (but i don't know where it is on the gui)
i think i have to enable file sharing through the
'admin>preferences>personal file sharing, but when i go to that the
screen says "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages
are not installed on your system" . well that is all fine and good, but it
does not tell me what the required packages are.
this is frustrating.
is this something that is over my head?
as usual thank you for your magnificent and useful help; please keep basic
as possible.
maybe there is an easy tutorial i can follow?, i looked but as expected,
there is a plethora of sites....
